This is Planet Money from NPR.
A while ago, like everyone else in the world, we sat down to answer one of the scariest questions floating around these is chat GPT going to take our jobs?
Specifically, we were curious about our jobs writing episodes of Planet money, because if you've never played around with chat GPT before, it is this jaw dropping piece of artificial intelligence technology.
You can ask it to write anything.
It has written very good term papers and computer code.
It passed the freaking bar exam.
So of course, anyone who does any kind of writing for a living is very concerned, including us.
And so we decided we needed to see exactly what we're dealing with here.
We started pretty simply.
We typed into chat GPT like, hey, here are some examples of the way Planet Money episodes begin.
Can you write a new one of those for us?
Sure.
Here is a hello and welcome to Planet Money sentence.
Of course, it was just typing this back to us.
We have added the voice because, you know, podcast.
But anyway, yeah, it starts to write.
Hello and welcome to Planet Money.
I'm Stacey Vanek Smith, and today we are taking a deep dive into the world of coffee.
We will explore how.
Okay, okay.
